Halo, why only maps?

In Halo games the most we ever recieve in DLC is maps (with the exception on the reskinned grav-hammer in Halo 3 Mythic). Why don’t we get armor, weapons, vehicles, modes (Firefight), weapon skins, armor skins, etc.

For instance in BF3, there are five full-fledged expansions. Each one including content from maps, vehicles, weapons, weapon skins, emblems, dog tags, character skins and more.

There are other games as well that add more than just maps, even Blops II recetly added a weapon in its first DLC, a CoD first. Yet in Halo we only get maps. Is there a technical limitation, or is it just them not wanting to add cool stuff to the game. To be honest I would take a few guns and a vehicle over a few new maps anyday of the week.

Any thoughts? Would you like to see more than just maps?

well the DLC is cheaper…

Thats true. I would pay more for more content though.

Any more thoughts? Please share!

halo never gives out anything other then maps. that is just how it is, BF3 is a game ment to be around for a long time. so they bring out these packs to make sure everyone is coming back. but for halo, there will always be a new one every 2 years or so. anyway skins are pointless, not many more vehicles they can add, and the game does not need anymore weapons. (there already is too many) IMO!

The gravity hammer was reskinned?

It would be cool, no doubt. Perhaps they’ll toy with the idea for Halo 5.

halos come out every 3 years dude. and BF3 is already getting a sequel due this year.

I can live with exclusive emblems/armor pieces, but not weapons. DLC should never add something that can change the way the game is played.

Maps are awesome because they don’t give anyone anykind of advantage.

> The gravity hammer was reskinned?

Yes, it was the golf club

> not many more vehicles they can add,

Halo wars would like a word with you, and you should also visit Halo 3, he has a few things to say

in all seriousness, i have a big list of vehicles that could be added;
-Cobra
-Grizzly
-Hawk
-Wolverine
-Hornet
-Shadow
-Drivable Pelican
-Prowler
-Chopper
-Relevant
-Vulture
-Shortsword
-Longsword

i could go on…

Well if a new weapon was added, it could be only used on new maps as you would have the rework the balancing. Since Halo 4 uses ordinance instead however, I’m hoping they add new weapons. We don’t have a unique forerunner weapon yet after all.

I hate weapon DLC’s…

if you count all the halo titles the average is 2.12 js anyway really doesn’t matter the fact is the game doesn’t need any skins or more weapons. they could add some of the vehicles they left out but i really won’t be losing sleep over it.

i could argue about some thing you said about the vehicles but really don’t care too. only thing i will say is the chopper was used by brutes. no brutes means no chopper. same thing goes for the prowler

It could be because they are limited with the engine that they chose to run the game with, that has a huge effect to how content can be added.Perhaps for Halo 5 they will use a new engine because the 720 has many possibilities that the 360 did not have.We will have to wait and see.Believe me, waiting is not my strong point but there is nothing i can do about it.So waiting is all i can do, which sucks.I wish i could jump in a cryo tube and be woke up after the 720 comes out.

The weapon DLC in BF3 is balenced really well actually. Just because youbuy an expansion doesent mean you get access to “god guns” (I know this is the case in some games). You can use the DLC weapons on any map in the game and if you die with it, someone who doesent have the weapon can ick it up and use it.

In previous Halo titles this wouldent of worked since there were no “loadouts”.

And yes I understand EVERYONE would have to have the said DLC installed in order to even play with people that have the weapons and have bought the DLC, thats the one downside.

So, a Liberal Huh?

Liberals don’t care about anyone or any-ones idea but there-selves and it definitely sounds like your one of them. I would give you a valid argument but you did not return the favor to him, so hence my rationalization to the point on your post.

And don’t even try to truly explain to me what a liberal is as I’ve talked to most people who claimed there were liberals (50 or more) & guess what, Never listened to anything I said nor believed it & tried to get me to like their idea, yaa, I don’t think so.


So, don’t listen to him & please bring back all vehicles from all games. & Make an Fore-runner Vehicle, that’s all I want. Something goldish/yellowish/grey vehicle. I’m tired of purple, Green & grey already.

I would agree about weapon DLC that it would be a great addition,but if you remember the boltshot when it came with the game.Good thing they Nerfed it.

More armor customizations on the other hand?Yes.

Doubtful
cant even properly balance the guns already in-game

I wouldn’t mind having the spectre back I love that thing
